While not actually a movie... I love the old TV show of the early 60's James A Mitchner's Adventures in Paradise with Gardner McKay as Adam Troy. Its about a former military guy in the South Specific who after the war, bought a schooner (Tiki) and operated a shipping business out of Tahiti and had all sorts of adventures in the process.

Last season I purchased the entire CD collection and we watch on a small DVD usually in the cockpit after dinner. It was most likely this show that initially got me turned on to sailing. While it is Black and White... it is still great stuff.

May I ask where you purchased these? I loved that show and have found clips on the net, but not full episodes and my local video store is unable to get them.

Do note that some of the episodes appear to have been pulled from a TV broadcast rather than original film. I've been through Set 1 and 2 so far and only one episode was a problem but viewable. Price here looks a little lower than what I paid a year ago. Good viewing..

These are all great so far! This topic came up last night for myself as I was sitting down to watch a movie (or anything interesting) and craving something with sailing, but couldn't think of many sailing themed movies/shows/docs. All kinds of good choices now! Preferably I'd be out actually doing the sailing myself, but... "Water, water everywhere, but not a sailboat to sail with"...haha.
